Help us fix it. In Portland, OR on April 25, 2026, we are hosting the world’s first artist’s summit addressing AI ethics and its harrowing implications on our industry. By showing up, you are making a pledge that you stand with human creation over automation.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, Portland will host the first-ever conference dedicated exclusively to celebrating human creativity. This summit aims to achieve a reclamation of artistic expression in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence and automation.
Created Ungenerated is a call to action for artists to unify where their communities are gathered to rally in support. Major organizations and creative firms will also take the pledge by vowing to uphold ethical practices, such as hiring verified artists, and ensuring that human vision remains at the heart of their departments.
Together, we gather to affirm that art without the human element is a hollow artifice.
The art world is at a breaking point, and artists everywhere are feeling it. As AI-generated images flood feeds and marketplaces, real human art is being buried under algorithms and scraped without consent.
26% of illustrators have already lost work, and nearly 40% report their income has dropped because of AI.
Created Ungenerated seeks to unite artists, agencies, publishers, and brands that believe the human element still belongs at the heart of every campaign, every product, and every story. This is a day of forging strong, lasting partnerships, where companies make their pledge to keep human artistry in their departments, and where artists connect with those who refuse to automate imagination.
Come help us create an ungenerated future for artists. We can’t do this alone anymore, and neither should you.
When you apply and pledge to create without AI, you’re choosing to create with transparency. Join us on April 25th where we guarantee you’ll be seen, and not just by algorithms scraping data from your work.
When your organization partners as a sponsor, you’re proof that progress and ethics can coexist, and that real creativity deserves real investment.
When you show up in Portland on April 25 to rally for artists who have pledged to create AI-free, you may just be their singular encouragement to keep creating.
If you can’t join us in Portland, your charitable donation via our ticketing platform (in lieu of a ticket), still makes an impact, and supports future initiatives to protect real human artistry.
